  • Manage secrets and credentials securely (Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).
  • Automate security processes and remediation using scripting and pipeline integrations.
  • Monitor and improve cloud security posture using tools such as Microsoft Defender, Azure Security Center, or AWS Security Hub.
  • Apply IAM, RBAC, and Zero Trust principles across environments.
  • Support vulnerability management processes and remediation efforts.
  • Contribute to compliance initiatives (SOC2, ISO 27001, CIS benchmarks).
  • Work closely with SOC teams to align threat detection and response with DevSecOps practices

Qualifications:

  • DevSecOps Engineer: 2–4 years of experience in DevOps, Security, or DevSecOps.

  • Proficiency in scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
  • Understanding of application security principles (OWASP Top 10).
  • Knowledge of IAM, RBAC, and network security fundamentals.

Nice to Have (Highly Beneficial):

  • Experience with security tools such as SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx, Prisma Cloud, or similar.
  • Experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and familiarity with Kubernetes security and policy enforcement.
  • Experience with policy-as-code (OPA, Azure Policy).
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Sentinel, Microsoft Defender suite, and Intune.
  • Knowledge of KQL for threat detection and analysis.
  • Familiarity with Logic Apps or similar tools for automation.
  • Prior experience in Security Operations (SOC), incident response, or threat monitoring.
